Question

I have a version of pyrocms that I want to update using git. The core files are mildly modified. I am learning git (http://git-scm.com/book). I get how to create a directory and so on, but I do not see where this is covered…

How do I start using git on my directory and pull into it updated code from pyrocms?

be nice.

Answer 1

Since pyrocms is on a GitHub repo, it depends if you want to contribute back of just version your changes.

In both cases, doing a fork of that repo on GitHub is the safest way to:

• have your own local clone you can modify
• keep said local clone updated from the original repo
• do, if you want, pull requests in order to contribute to the original project.

So:

• fork the repo on GitHub
• clone your fork
• modify your file and push back to origin
• pull from time to time from “upstream” repo (the original pyrocms repo), to kept your local repo up-to-date.
